Mike Pierce vs. Rousimar Palhares for UFC Fight Night 29

Mike Pierce looks to extend his winning streak to five when he faces dangerous grappler Rousimar Palhares at UFC Fight Night 29 on Oct. 9. Sources close to the situation confirmed the match-up to MMAFighting.com. Lance! first reported the bout.

Man, Pierce is a personal favorite but he doesn't get any easy fights. I hope he's training to save his legs. If he can avoid the early sub, I'm assuming Toquinho will have nothing in the gas tank by the 2nd. I'm crossing my fingers for a TKO by Pierce in the 3rd.

I got Pierce here, he is underrated and hits like a train and has mean wrestling and ground and pound.. Paul Harris always comes up short in fights against semi-top competition as it is, so I see Pierce grabbing a TKO because Paul Harris will pull that weird shit he always does and acts all out of it when he fights.. Lombard, Belcher and Marq he basically gave up and let himself be finished. Paul Harris is awesome but he won't catch Pierce's leg here.

I'll go with this. Palhares is known for grabbing a leg and applying pressure regardless of tap or ref stoppage, not for an exciting style or putting on great fights. He's been exposed and Pierce will put the stamp on it.

It'll be interesting to see his ability for his debut at WW and "possibly" clean.
